Guest Reviews

• Sharon (6/5): - It was what you would expect for the money. The bed was good and the bathtub was brand new. Otherwise, it was very tired
• Connie (10/5): - Easy check in, clean room!
• Will (10/5): - Great setup
• Erik (2/5): - no Wi-Fi. Promised to refund one day and did not.
• Gail (10/5): - Nice and convenient
• Zack (4/5): - Given a different room than I reserved at first and told they were booked, so there was nothing else available. Thankfully someone didn’t show up, so I was able to get a different room. The person I talked with on the phone was nice. The room we stayed in had multiple lightbulbs out. One outlet that didn’t work and was sticking out of the wall. One front window was missing a lock latch. The smoke detector had no battery and was inoperable. The toilet seat isn’t secured to the toilet. Exhaust fan in the bathroom doesn’t work. Not even the “upgraded” room was worth the price I paid for something smaller, in my opinion. I didn’t have very high expectations, but pretty minimal maintenance and safety items were definitely lacking.
• Sue (4/5): - While the rooms were clean, they were VERY basic and certainly not updated. The exterior of the motel was not very inviting either. Tiny parking lot with overgrown weeds. We needed two inexpensive rooms for 1 night. What we got was CHEAP rooms. Glad we weren't staying any longer.
• P.J. (6/5): - No staff on site, but check in was relatively easy. I had room number one which was closest to the main drag, so I needed to use the fan to drown out the noise from the road.
• Michael (4/5): - Heater didn't work, bathroom sink leaks, one roll of toliet paper for 3 people which had already been partially used. No office, no staff.
• Pamela (8/5): - It was what we expected. We like a small place where we can park right by our door. We ride bikes and it is only a few blocks to the Heartland Trailhead. There were a few things missing in the bathroom like the TP and towel holders but they are minor. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.
• Linda (6/5): - Shopping and dining options close by. While the room initially looked clean, the flooring was very dirty. Our white socks were black on the bottom. The people in room next door were very noisy. No staff on site. No reception desk. The day we were leaving, the water in the tub and sink was cold. The bathtub was filthy.
• chirag (10/5): - Like the easy check in and checkout and place is nice and clean
• Valerie (8/5): - Overall the property inside was very clean. However, the coffee maker filter was dirty and had scum in it. Did not have coffee. Also no hangers to hang clothes. Was convenient for an overnight stay.
• Dawn (8/5): - Rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable.
• Robert (4/5): - got there they have a keypad, pressed numbers and whole device fell on the ground. Used the key behind it. No person managing property. Weeds growing so high had to kick away to get out of our car. paint peeling in total disrepair. Been to motels alt the way to Alabama, Texas, this has to rate one of the worst. Sorry Click Clacks should not count as beds.
• Roxanne (8/5): - Simple, clean rooms. Pleasantly surprised by the clean, updated bathroom! Dorm fridge and microwave. Walking distance from multiple shops and restaurants. Good for shorter stays.
• Sally (8/5): - Couldn't park close to our room. Room clean and comfortable beds. A chair in the room would have been nice.
• Kacey (4/5): - The room itself was okay at best. There were exposed wires from popped out outlets, black gunk buildup, and the window by the sink had no curtain, so somebody outside could see everything in the room at all times. Customer service was bad, I called ahead of time to ask about checking in an hour early as I was coming for a wedding and she said yes. So I came in the day of my reservation from several hours away and when I got there I called and she said that they wouldn’t have a room for me until regular check in time, so we had to get ready in a gas station bathroom. Extremely unprofessional and the lady had an attitude with me instead of being properly accommodating.
• Margaret (10/5): - Rooms are great, outside is a bit run down. Parking is very tight.. But love the convenience of checking in and it is close to Itasca state park and other cute towns. I would stay here again.
• joseph (8/5): Couples night in Park Rapids - Looks like a recent remodel. Appearance from the street didn't look to inviting, grounds need work. Room however was well equipped and clean. House cleaning staff was very friendly and accommodating. Parking is a bit tight. Appears that there is no on site manger but wasn't an issue for us. Good value for the price.
• Paul (2/5): - Property is old, parking lot is busted up, exterior is peeling, windows are filthy, room stinks of stale beer and cigarettes, floor is sticky, trim falling off ceiling. We didn't want to touch anything. We put the key back and drove away. Drove another 75 miles to find a different place to stay.
• RICHARD (6/5): More simple than rustic, but reasonable. - It's a clean and in a location central to much of the towns commercial/retail. Very simple with a great bed. Small with very little noise dampening between rooms. Weird eye level window outside bathroom, with no shade or curtains???
• Pamela (10/5): - The staff and front office people were fabulous.
• Roxanne (10/5): Great value - Easy booking, no onsite check in, they text you code for lock box which is super convenient. Looks like a cowboy motel, not great looking on outside, and parking is a bit tight, but the location and cleanliness and comfort was great. Excellent mattress and tons of very hot water and great water pressure. Fluffy towels! Great value.
• Holly (4/5): - This room was dirty and busted. The door was filthy, the blinds were broken, there were nondescript stains on the shower curtain, torn screens on the window. We called on the second day of our stay and reported a broken TV and a need for toilet paper. I was told they would call TV service and call me back and that someone would come with toilet paper within the hour. Never heard from them again. We booked a deluxe double because it advertised a desk that I needed to do some work and there was no desk. I would never stay here again.
• Jacob (8/5): - We stayed here for a week recently for a family trip. It is a basic no frills motel that has a vintage appeal to it. We were without WiFi for a few days however but that was due to a storm that came through. I would have liked to have my linens changed more frequently than they were, but I suppose that is my only real gripe.
• Adam (8/5): - It fit the need, just a quick place to stay for the night. Communication was great and room was clean. Thanks
• Kathleen (8/5): - It was just an overnight and perfect for our trip
• Kimberly (10/5): - For a small motel it was very nice!!
• Jill (8/5): - Everything was good except the
• Lisa (4/5): - Room was dirty, stained and dirty carpet. Bed was very squeaky, used soap bar in shower, yet no toiletries provided. TV not set-up or connected to wifi. The shower pressure was great and check in with staff was easy and friendly. Probably will not stay again.
• Kevin (2/5): - It was the most disgusting room id ever stayed in. Rustic? Your funny. Some kind of urine stain among other stains on floor. This isn't rustic its lazy.
• Rhonda (6/5): - It was very homey.
• Dennis (2/5): - The room was damp and so were the sheets on the bed. Paper thin walls that allow you to hear everything the people in adjacent rooms are doing. This is not the fault of the motel but our neighbors came back at 1:30 am and proceeded to loudly party until we finally had to knock on their door and request that they stop. It was an overall pretty miserable night and the cost was still significant $130+ for the night.
• Norberg (8/5): - Conveniently located on the main road through town. Shops, restaurants, convenience stores within a few minute walk or drive. Reasonably priced - fit my needs well. Will likely stay there again, if the opportunity arises.
• Dana (8/5): - Reasonably priced, clean, friendly and helpful staff. Cute room, nice to have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Mattresses were not very comfortable but ok for one night.
• Julie (6/5): - pretty well worn but the bed was comfortable. The bathroom is small and tired. This would be a much nicer and cleaner feeling place if updated.
• Teresa (10/5): - If you are looking for a nostalgic, comfortable, updated and safe place you need to try the Rustic Inn! We loved the fact we had a little living room area to relax in. When we requested items, they were responded to quickly. The Inn in easily in walking distance to downtown restaurants.
• Judi (8/5): - Room was clean and price was right. Windows need cleaning.
• DeeAnn (6/5): - Exterior needs paint and tlc. No staff on site, need to call and get a door code to get into room. Because we stayed only 1 night we were told we were given the room 12 ft from the Hwy, very noisy. Cute and clean room, comfortable bed. However the toilet seat was smaller than the toilet rim and was awkward. Unsure I would choose this motel again.
• Tanna (8/5): - It was a fine place. Ground level for all rooms. Clean. And when i called 2 days earlier about getting in before actually check in time the gal was so nice and i was able to.
• Devin (2/5): - We had very little to choose from when booking a hotel in the park rapids area. We thought the Rustic Inn would be enough to suit our needs but we were wrong! The second we walked in the door we were greeted with a horrible smell. Our baby walked around bare feet for ten minutes and his feet were BLACK. The sink faucet was falling off, there were holes in the walls from the bathroom door knob, everything was extremely outdated, smelly, and broken. We spent as little time there over our two night stay, as possible. The only thing i was willing to give it credit for was the hot shower and king size bed but that quickly went away when my husband was covered in bed bug bites after leaving! We will not be staying here again!
• ernest (10/5): - A very comfortable one night stay. Staff very friendly.
• Kayla Jo (2/5): - Id like to meet the people who gave this hotel a 5 star reciew. The room was roughly the size of a shoe box. Full size bed. Pillows that were the width of a piece of paper. Bathtub with the finish peeling off, good shower pressure though. Half of the light bulbs were burnt out. Carpet had major stains everywhere. Everything was a little sticky. It had a self checkin service, more like an air bnb. There was no on site employees that I saw.
• Joseph (8/5): - Convenient location and price was good.
• Harry (6/5): - Carpet was stained all over ….didn’t want to walk without shoes on it or set stuff on it. They need to replace it!
• Susan (8/5): - Very Clean. Did not receive information on how to check in until I called to ask. Was supposed to get an email with information so it was stressful not knowing if I would be able to reach someone. Also no information in room related to TV, heating/cooling or checkout. Parking was confusing and could have been a problem if there were more rooms rented. The room was clean and very adequate for the price. My concerns are basically related to communication
• Albert (2/5): - Terrible moldy smell and had to look for another hotel. Trying to get my money back. Pictures online are very deceiving.
• Christopher (10/5): - Honestly, I could not ask for a better experience at a small inn in a small town. Not sure why others are not picking. We were very happy with the whole experience. It was off the main road. Easy to get to, very easy parking, the keys are easy to get after getting your contact email. There's loads of places to shop and eat within a 10 minute walk. The room was clean. The shower was hot. The bed was comfortable. The TV has all the channels you want. The wifi is fast. The bathroom towels were comfy. We would come back.
• Abelardo (10/5): - Tons of restaurants nearby and easy parking. The main road is close, but it's not loud at all (white noise). Clean furniture and excellent, working tech.
• Gina (8/5): - You get what you pay for. The room had a gueen single bed. Comfy but the pillows were crap. Invest in ten bucks and buy some decent pillows.
• David (4/5): Disappointed - It seems this property is low budget concern. Outside of building was very dusty dirty! Window screens riped. Room seems to not been used for awhile. First shower taken, the stench of rotten eggs was overwhelming. Not a first good impression! Next day smell was gone. So we dealt with it. Fridge didn't cool, and then the kitchen sink leaked. I was thankful for a place to sleep. But this would not be a good choice in the future for my family.
• David (4/5): - Blinds on front door were totally busted so couldn’t cover the window. No shampoo provided. Very old and very basic.
• Awil A (8/5): - cleanliness
• Lisa (10/5): - Loved that my doggos were welcome. Could use assigned parking spots. Was plenty of room for myself and 2 dogs.
• Shane (8/5): - Exterior conditions are a little rough. Inside the rooms were clean and cozy. I would stay here again
• Verified traveler (8/5): Clean and comfy - Great little motel, super clean and comfy beds! If all you need is basic room to sleep and nice clean bathroom with super hot water, very clean. We were pleasantly surprised and would recommend.
• Nancy (8/5): - The room itself was spotless and had excellent tiles and flooring - all in good condition. The outside of the hotel is in need of repair, especially the office area. There were building permits, so it is hoped that their remodeling is to be done soon.
• Jeff-Peggy (6/5): - Tv did not work - bed was to soft
• patty (4/5): - no electrical on north side of the room.no hot water.no tv or any lights other than one overhead light.couldnt take a shower.never again.ni maintence ppl on property to do anything about any of it
• Verified traveler (6/5): Fix the blinds - I was just there overnight to sleep, so I knew with the cheap price there would be some compromises. The heating system was great, and there was enough to watch on tv. Sink was fine as was toilet. My only 2 complaints are the busted up mini blind on the door. I was in room 5. Mine was bad enough that people could see inside. The tub was yucky, but I didn’t need to shower, so I didn’t use it. No funny smells, and clean enough.
• Edward (10/5): - I enjoyed how clean the room was. Parking was tough but acceptable. Quiet until people next door arrived. Will be telling my co. board to approve this site.
• Kayla (8/5): - The stay was good for the price. The smoke alarm was broken and falling off the ceiling and the door was very hard to lock but other than that the stay was good and the room was very clean.
• Steve (10/5): - This place was excellent, very clean throughout with all the basics bed, bathroom, seating, table, fridge, micro and coffee making fully functional. This is not fine dining, more like a favourite diner and priced accordingly. I arrived late, and after snowfall to a warm room with the parking and doorway cleared.
• Robby (10/5): Highly recommend this place - If you ever get a chance to stay in Park Rapids, MN I highly recommend Rustic Inn!! It's like staying in a house not a hotel/ motel. It's like staying in a log cabin.... the room is so comfortable and gorgeous!!!
• Lori (10/5): - The room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Would stay here again.
• Krista (6/5): Safety Risk - Before checking in, I received a text that my motel door would be open with a key inside. This concerned me because what if someone else got inside the room in the meantime? When I arrived at the room, it was tough to lock my door. The door did not line up with the door frame very well. I sent a text to the motel to let them know this, but there was no response. In addition, the room was freezing the entire night. The heater did not seem to work well. And, my room was situated near a main road, so I could hear traffic most of the night while I was trying to sleep. The room was clean and affordable enough, but work needs to be done to ensure guest safety and comfort.
• Leah (10/5): - The new remodeled rooms were tastefully done and cozy!
• Daniel (10/5): - HVAC was comfortable. Comfortable stay.
• Margreta (10/5): - Quiet, plenty of parking right in front of my room. Reasonable price.
